Like a story can literally beat someone over the head with a theme or moral and people somehow come to the opposite conclusion?

It's like "Tyler Durden is so manly and cool" except every bit of media feels like it's misinterpreted like that now.

The review you mentioned, in case anyone wants to read it.

I know that everyone here is probably already aware of this but, on the odd chance that someone isn't already, did you know that Orwell not only straight up plagiarised the concept for the story of Animal Farm but he also decided that, instead of the story being an anti-nazi, it would be better if it was an anti-Soviet parable instead?

Never ask:
a man his salary
a woman her age
an enby whether they're a man or a woman
Eric Arthur Blair how he felt about Hitler
